Murphy's Law joke
Case #
2999

Facebook censors a dad joke as "sensitive content": A Facebook user posted the following dad joke to a joke group called "Painfully Punny and Funny": "'Have you heard of Murphy's Law?' 'Yeah.' 'What is it?' 'If something can go wrong, it will go wrong.' 'Right. Have you heard of Cole's Law?' 'No, what is it?' 'Thinly sliced cabbage.'" Facebook placed a sensitive content filter over the image of the joke. It is unclear what led to this. Sensitive content filters must be clicked through to view the image just as fact-check interstitials must. According to Facebook, users fail to click through fact-check interstitials 95% of the time. Similar results could be expected from a similar filter.
